House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said during a “town hall meeting” on CNN on Wednesday night that when there is a Democratic president the federal deficit goes down.

“It’s counterintuitive in people’s minds that the Democrats are the deficit reduction folks,” said Pelosi. “But the fact is, you look, when there’s a Democratic president, that the deficit goes down, when the Republicans are in power, they give tax cuts at the high end, all kinds of other things, and the deficit, the debt, the national debt goes up.”

The historical data published by the White House Office of Management and Budget indicates that the three highest annual deficits in the years after World War II (measured as a percentage of GDP) were during the Obama administration.

In fiscal 2010, the federal deficit was 9.8 percent of GDP; in 2011, it was 8.7 percent; and in 2012, it was 8.5 percent.

Democrats aren’t big fans of facts. Facts get in the way of rhetoric. You can’t manipulate people if you have to tell them the truth.

We need “Nutcase Nancy” if only for the laughs, but she could be a great posterchild for mental health charities.

“When there’s a Democrat President, the country’s IQ goes down”.

Nancy Pelosi’s way of conjugating pronouns:

* IQ
* You cue
* They cue
* Pool cue

How soon will the alphabet networks or anyone in the MSM publish a “fact-checking” article to correct this?

Nancy Pelosi is proof that it is possible for a human being to live if their blood supply is completely replaced with heavily concentrated bong water.

Pelosi: ‘When There’s a Democratic President, the Deficit Goes Down’

Well, if someone had to lie like that, this ole Botox Bimbo was the one to call on.

She has a perpetual smile, and even her eyes have a problem blinking as a tell.

This is simply lying. Deficits tripled under obama and then they fell around 50% which left an overall net increase during his administration. Of course, the demo_rats throw the increase down the memory hole and only reference the decrease.

Liberals are evil, horrible people.

“Birth defect. Parents should have aborted or used a condom.”

Reportedly she won the title “Miss Lube Rack” from the Baltimore Service Station Associaton when she was a teenager. Unfortunately, she’s been “lubeing” us all ever since.

She also said unemployment payments were great for the economy - every $100 supposedly put over $130 back into the economy - under her model we’d have a smoking hot economy if everyone were on unemployment...
